Hey all! I have noticed, as i play, that the gun, sometimes uncocks itself and it does so after every say 20 shots. I put my ear up to the expansion chamber, and can hear air leakage. I don't know if that is normal. The O Ring on the Expansion Chamber itself is in perfect condition, so i dont know what to do. I have a game on Monday and really need this gun to work because my other gun is in California, and im on the East Coast. Thanks guys! |

Check the line going in. I have had this happen to me, and seen it happen, plenty of times. If the line is leaking were it goes into the x-chamber, take the line out and put some teflon tape on the threads. The line might be hard to get out because some have quik-tight glue. (You will have to take the x-chamber off to get the line out) -------------

I had this same problem with my line leaking jsut going into the powertube. I wraped like 1 layer of teflon tape around it and it seemed to solve the problem. just make sure it gets in between the thread and isnt just pushed off the threads when you screw it in. -------------

Ugh, crack it off of there and teflon tape the fitting. Dont loctite air fittings, it just makes disassembly a pain in the ass, and teflon tape seals better anyway.
